Tribal College Map

Diné College, the first tribal college, was established in 1969 on the Navajo reservation.

For nearly 50 years, Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) have provided a path for American Indian students to access a higher education and the opportunities it provides. TCUs allow Native students to take their first steps towards earning a degree on or near the reservation communities they call home. In addition to receiving an accredited higher education, students thrive in an learning environment in which the culture, traditions, and experiences of Native people are woven into the DNA of the institutions—providing a space for them to learn and be understood.
